    16 - 17 years olds are permitted to volunteer on their own in select opportunities with parental or guardian permission. Please attend an information session with your parent or guardian for more details. To review age requirements for volunteer opportunities, please visit our Individual Volunteer Opportunities Page. **Youth volunteer seeking short term service hours should check out the Community Service Day opportunities rather than sign up to be a regular CMP volunteer.**
